MyClass1

class rtd_testing.MyClass1(a: float, b: float)

A whatever-you-are-doing.

Parameters:

• a (float) – The a of the system. Must be non-negative.

• b (float) – The b of the system.

my_string

A nice string.

Type:

str

Raises:

ValueError – If a is negative.

Notes

Document the __init__() method in the docstring of the class itself, because the docstring of the __init__() method does not appear in the documentation.

• Refer to a class this way: MyClass2 (except as a type indication, cf. update_b_from_class_2()).

• Refer to a method this way: addition().

• Refer to a method in another class: MyClass2.addition().

• Refer to an attribute this way: my_string.

• Refer to a property this way: a_square.

• Refer to a parameter or variable this way: a.

Examples

>>> my_object = MyClass1(a=5, b=3)

A_NICE_CONSTANT = 42

This is a nice constant.

A_VERY_NICE_CONSTANT = 51

property a_square: float

The square of a.

addition() → float

Add a and b.

Returns:

The sum of a and b.

Return type:

Number

Examples

>>> my_object = MyClass1(a=5, b=3)
>>> my_object.addition()
8

divide_a_by_c_and_add_d(c: float, d: float) → float

Divide a by something and add something else.

Parameters:

• c (Number) – A non-zero number. You can say many things about this parameter in several indented lines, like this.

• d (Number) – A beautiful number.

Returns:

The result of a / c + d.

Return type:

Number

Raises:

ZeroDivisionError – If c = 0.

Notes

This function gives an example of documentation with typical features.

Examples

We can write some text to explain the following example:

>>> my_object = MyClass1(a=5, b=3)
>>> my_object.divide_a_by_c_and_add_d(c=2, d=10)
12.5

And we can explain a second example here:

>>> my_object = MyClass1(a=5, b=3)
>>> my_object.divide_a_by_c_and_add_d(c=2, d=20)
22.5

update_b_from_class_2(object_of_class_2)

Update b from a MyClass2 object.

Parameters:

object_of_class_2 (MyClass2) –

An object from the other class. The purpose of this function is essentially to show how to document when an argument is an object of another class.

N.B.: for the type of an argument, you can enter only the name of the class, e.g. MyClass2. However, in the rest of the documentation, you must use the full syntax, like :class:`MyClass2`.

Examples

>>> my_object = MyClass1(a=5, b=3)
>>> my_object.update_b_from_class_2(MyClass2(42, 51))
>>> my_object.b
51
